New well

A new well! Exciting news! Here are some things you might want to consider when drilling a new well:

Why do you need a new well?

• Are you moving to a new location and need a reliable source of water?
• Is your current well no longer producing enough water or has stopped producing altogether?
• Are you looking to drill a new well for irrigation purposes?

Types of wells

• Drilled wells: These are the most common type of well and are drilled using a drilling rig and a drill bit.
• Dug wells: These are shallow wells that are dug by hand or with machinery.
• Cisterns: These are above-ground storage tanks that collect and store rainwater or well water.

Things to consider when drilling a new well

• Location: Choose a location that is safe and accessible, and that is not prone to flooding or contamination.
• Geology: Consider the geology of the area and the type of rock formations that you will be drilling through.
• Water table: Determine the depth and quality of the water table in the area.
• Permitting: Check with your local authorities to see if you need a permit to drill a well in your area.
• Drilling method: Decide which drilling method is best for your well, such as rotary drilling or percussion drilling.
• Well casing: Choose the right type of well casing to protect the well from contamination and ensure the water is safe to drink.
• Pumping system: Decide on the type of pumping system you will need to extract the water from the well.

Benefits of a new well

• Reliable source of water: A new well can provide a reliable source of clean water for drinking, irrigation, and other uses.
• Increased property value: A well can increase the value of your property, especially if you are in an area where access to clean water is limited.
• Reduced reliance on municipal water: A well can reduce your reliance on municipal water supplies, which can be subject to droughts, contamination, and other issues.
